New look

We dames got together and decided the old look was kinda like that old coat we all have in the back of our wardrobe–warm, as comfortable as hell, but getting rather out of date. It was, we decided, time to make the site all shiny again.

The designer we chose to do that was Ilona Andrews–yes, that Ilona Andrews. The one who writes those fantastic books. Seems she is a very talented lady indeed!We gave her some very vague ideas about what we were looking for, then threw her in the deep end and said go for it. This is what she came up with, and we love it.

Of course, it’s still a work in progress, so over the next week or so there may be a few minor changes, but overall, this is it. What do you all think? Let us know. There’s a prize involved–anyone who comments will go in the draw to win a signed copy of Beneath a Rising Moon–my upcoming re-release, which, like this website, has been made all shiny again. The winner will be drawn in a week and notified by email.

About Keri

Keri Arthur grew up sharing her life with dragons, elves, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters and the occasional talking horse. Which worried her family to no end. Of course, now that she’s actually making a living sharing her life with the abovementioned creatures, her family no longer contemplates calling the men with the little white coat. When not at her keyboard writing the next in her NYT bestselling Riley Jenson series, she can be found zoning out in front of the TV, or taking her two dogs for a walk.

I like the way it’s looking. It’s bright and clear. As I get older (50 in a couple weeks) it gets harder to see stuff on many sites because they’re so dark. I really like how clean the new look is. Thanks.

I really love the new look! Clean, bright, very easy to read and navigate. I love the sharp new header image as well. I love Ilona’s books, and I love her site designs as well, and this is another winner.

The general feel is good. Lots of broken links and missing images.
The nav bar at the top is nice. Not sure about the way the background is broken up with the solid darker blue, then the patterned blue then the solid white in a large chunk at the bottom. Almost looks like a mistake on the tiling of the patterned background part. Keep working on it and i am sure you will get it fixed. Organizing folders for websites can be tedious at best.
Love the books, thanks ladies!

I think it’s great. Bright, colorful and appealing. I am a reader based on how the cover appeals to me. I would definately buy this book because the cover had drawn me in. I have been wanting to read this book for awhile now but kept waiting for the re-release. I am so excited.

Overall, I think it’s a good look. When the page loaded, at first I was like, “What site did I go to?” before I realized it was a new look. I’m not sure about the two columns next to each other with nothing but white space separating them, though, but that’s about it.
